Uber - Everyones private driver

A new car service has been launched in South Africa, Uber lets their clients ride in style and class. This service operates from an App on Android and iPhones, you simply click on the closes car to you in the App and uber will track the car for you on your phone screen turn by turn til it gets to you. The cars you get chauffeured in are Merc's C, E, or S Class, BMW 3, 5 or the 750i and Audi A6. All you do is simply download the App and register your details (incl credit card) and payment is automatically deducted and you are sent an emali reciept of your transaction. NO NEED TO TIP.

Apparently this service is not much higher than current cab fees in South Africa. During a demo trip I ordered a car in Paris (they have a presence there too) and saw it turn to come to my destination but I immediately cancelled it. :-)
